Comparing three famous brands: Toyota, Nissan and Volkswagen. Which brand do you think has the best after sales value. Also, please suggest which is better selling brand amongst all these three, according to you. 

Well, it is adviced that you should never switch your motor oil. You must use the motor oil which is specified by uour dealer and mentioned in your manual book. If you try to switch to synthetic oil, most likely your engine will suffer from something big and may lead to overheating and sometimes to shut down as well. If that happens, you will end up spending lot of money just sorting the engine out. 

Hey everyone. Wassup!? I hope everyone is enjoying the change in weather. Please discuss what changes you love when summer is fading from UAE.

Sorry, but i am confused, You are asking for types of car insraunce, or type of insurance coverage?

hey man. Thanks for sharing. I would really request everyone to folow atleast one point everyday, and i am sure that we will be able to avoid any big hazard on the road. If each person just adopt one good thing, we can acheive at least something.

Synthetic motor oils are actually thinner than the ordinary oil, and it mainly reduces the friction and wear in the engine. But whether is it good for your car or not, completely depends on your car. Some cars doesnt recommend synthetic oil if its a high mileage car.

But some brands like chevrolet runs on synthetic oil only. SO it completely depends on whether your dealer suggests you to put synthetic oil or not.

Well i dont know how to compare the two different segment cars. Accent offcourse is way better because its more comfortable and more spacing in aailabl.e Getz is a small hatchback car. Its good for just going on small drives but let's say you go out on a long drive, offcourse Accent is way better. Performane wise if you compare, again Accent is way better. You have got more options comfort choices in Accent but not in Getz.

Dont forget the coolant level. When he coolant level is going down in your car it means something is gonna happen. SO maintain the coolant level of your car.

Ok. And what precautiong can one take to avoid any dropping down engine performance?

Whats the main reason of Brake failure in a car. And how can one avoid brake failing in a car. I mean, what should one take care of that the one knows before hand if the brakes are about to fail?

For VW, I suppose it will cost you around 1000-1,300 AED. But replacing the steering rack also includes the labor cost.But the labor cost solely depends on the per hour rate of your dealer/workshop.

Ya. Sometimes.

Excess of transmission fluid is not really good for a car. There are certain things that can probably go wrong when the transmission fluid is too high.

1. Foaming fluid: When the fluid is in excess quantity, it makes foam in the transmission fluid tank. This is not really good for your driving. The gear shifting becomes erratic. That turns up to be a huge problem for the car as the transmission gets damaged ultimately.
2. Transmission damage: There is a high probability of transmission damage. The damaged transmission means big loss for you. To replace the transmission is a big job which is going to cost lot of money and time.
3. Oil starvation: The oil level ultimately will go down and sometimes the oil gets burned as well. And you must be aware, what happened when the oil starts burning. It’s a big risk on your car. It will surely get overheated. Once the engine gets overheated, it directly affects the radiator, water pump and head gaskets. And there are some parts in the engine which are supposed to be replaced if they are damaged. There is no repair possible.

To avoid such a thing, however you must always keep a keen notice on the level of your transmission fluid. But if the level is already high, you can pump out some of the fluid from the transmission. But don’t do it on your own, if you have never performed a DIY task on your car. It’s easy. Use a hand pump or thin tube to flush off the excess fluid. Also change the transmission fluid from time to time as the used fluid sometimes loses their lubricant qualities after a particular time. The transmission fluid with time becomes brown/black which means that the transmission fluid needs to be changed.
